WSL and Installation of ROS

Image
  Previously on this page...…. we took our first step towards our project of learning ROS and simulating a simple pick and place mobile robot. we started with installing wsl/vm, hope you have tried one of the steps personally am using wsl and also have installed on windows. For 3D cad software am using Fusion 360, also if you wish you can use your choice of software but make sure it has URDF exporter.   Starting WSL gui... If you have installed wsl on your pc one tip I want to give is  that also install windows terminal, as we will using multiple windows of terminal, at least 3 windows will be in operation at a time. now if you are using Linux for first time, you will not be familiar with its commands and its inbuilt text editor, like windows come with notepad, Linux comes with Nano and you can use it in terminal. but first lets launch some gui apps from wsl, hope you have launched Xserver , if don't know what it is, have look of my previous post . open windows termi...

Getting started......

  Getting started...… so with this blog we be meeting our prerequisites to start the project I hope you did some research of ROS😁😁, but if not still its okay I there to guide you...… first and most import thing to you will need to run ROS is a Linux based PC with a moderate processor and at least 4GB (empty) RAM in order to load and simulate robot smoothly if you don't have Linux based PC again don't worry am there...πŸ˜‡   System Requirement In order to   meet system requirement we  have 5 ideas, all of them are working and simple to follow , will give them in increasing order of difficulty..... ROS Development Studios: This is free web based Linux type service only to use ROS and simulate the robots  also they provide courses for ROS, you can use them to learn more  , specifically speaking its online learning and teaching platform for ROS you can learn as well as teach others too, I have started using it, but there are limitations of it. 1. They only prov...

Introduction

This is my first blog and the topic is ROS,πŸ˜…πŸ˜… Let me introduce my self, I am Shivam Kulkarni , pursuing mechanical engineering degree from JSPM's Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering and as a part of robotics team of college, Team Cipher.... I was introduced to ROS, learning it, solving errors and accomplishing the tasks given by team leaders was a great journey ,the part of it was ROS so in this blog and upcoming blogs we will discuss  about ROS and its applications and also we will be developing a project in parallel .  so,  WHAT IS ROS ?? when I asked this question to my seniors , they were like , what you don't know ROS you are part of team since a year and you don't know ROS, start learning form now and start from  ROS wiki  and complete beginner tutorials at least. So,  ROS stands for Robot Operating System , it is set programs more specifically a Frame-work which handles multiple parts of robot  at same time, when it comes to handle...
